Immunofluorescence Staining of ESCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ESCs or ESC-derived cells were collected and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for half an hour at room temperature. Then, the cells were washed with PBST (phosphate-buffered saline, 0.1% Triton X-100) for three times, each for 15 min. Following the incubation with blocking buffer (5% normal horse serum, 0.1% Triton X-100, in PBS) for 2 h at room temperature, the cells were incubated with primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight. Antibodies used were POGZ (Abcam, ab171934), OCT4 (Proteintech, 60,242–1-Ig), NANOG (Bethyl, A300-397A), GATA6 (Abcam, ab175349), HP1 (Abcam, ab213167), and PH3 (CST, #9701). After three times of wash with PBST, the cells were incubated with secondary antibodies (1:500 dilution in blocking buffer, Alexa Fluor 488, Life Technologies) at room temperature for 1 h in the dark. The nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Sigma, D9542, 1:1000). After washing with PBS for twice, the slides were mounted with 100% glycerol on histological slides. Images were taken by a Leica SP8 laser scanning confocal microscope (Wetzlar, Germany). About 10 images were taken for each slide. Quantification of IF staining was performed using ImageJ [30 (link)].

Western Blot Analysis of GATA6 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After transfection for 48 h, RIPA lysis containing proteinase inhibitors (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China) was used to extract total protein. The protein concentrations were tested with the BCA kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology). The total proteins (50 µg) were added into the well with SDS-PAGE and electrophoresis at 60 V was performed when bromophenol blue ran out of the bottom. The proteins were then transferred to nitrocellulose filter (NC) membranes, and skimmed milk (5–10%) was used to block he membranes at room temperature for 2 h. Subsequently, primary antibodies (GATA6, Abcam, Cambridge, UK; GAPDH, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) were added in to incubate the samples at 4°C overnight. After being washed with 1X TBST (pH 7.4) three times, the secondary antibodies were added in and incubated at room temperature for 2 h. Protein bands were detected using the chemiluminescence method (ECL; Millipore Billerica, MA, USA). GAPDH served as a loading control.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
